Loopholes in the voluntary pledges by the biggest personal care companies to phase out polluting microbeads have been revealed in a\u00a0report from Greenpeace<\/a>, which says a legal ban is needed.<\/p>\n

Tiny plastic beads are widely used in toiletries and cosmetics but thousands of tonnes wash into the sea every year, where they harm wildlife and can ultimately be eaten by people, with unknown effects on health. A\u00a0petition signed by more than 300,000<\/a>\u00a0people asking for a UK ban was delivered to the prime minister in June A US law banning microbeads was passed at the end of 2015.<\/p>\n

The Greenpeace report surveyed the world\u2019s top 30 personal care companies and found that even those ranked highest came up short of the standard they deemed acceptable.<\/p>\n

One of the leaders, Colgate-Palmolive, said it\u00a0stopped using of plastic microbeads at the end of 2014<\/a>, but Greenpeace said the pledge only applied to products used for \u201cexfoliating and cleansing\u201d. Microbeads can be used in moisturisers, makeup, lip balms, shaving foams and other products.<\/p>\n

One of the lowest-ranked companies was Est\u00e9e Lauder, which says it \u201cis currently in the process of removing exfoliating plastic beads in the small number of our products that contain them\u201d. Greenpeace said the company\u2019s commitment is too narrow, applying only to microbeads used for exfoliating, and does not set a deadline.<\/p>\n

The lowest-ranked company was US-based Edgewell Personal Care. It was given a score of zero out of 400 by Greenpeace, as \u201cthey did not respond to the survey and no publicly available information was found\u201d. However, an Edgewell spokeswoman said: \u201cWe did not participate in the Greenpeace survey, as we do not incorporate the use of microbeads in any of our wide range of personal care products.\u201d<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s biggest personal care company, Procter & Gamble, was ranked joint 18th. The company, whose brands include Olay, says its \u201cgoal is to remove polyethylene microbeads<\/a>\u00a0from all our cleansers and toothpastes by 2017\u201d. Greenpeace said the commitment was unacceptable because it applies to just one type of plastic, rather than all types, and applies only to personal cleansing and oral care products.<\/p>\n

Other loopholes in company pledges include not committing to phasing out microbeads in all countries, being unclear about the size of the microbeads excluded and allowing the use of \u201cbiodegradable\u201d plastic microbeads, despite such materials being\u00a0labelled as a false solution<\/a>\u00a0by the chief scientist at the UN Environment Programme.<\/p>\n

Louise Edge, a senior oceans campaigner at Greenpeace UK, said: \u201cWhen it comes to dealing with microbeads, companies are all over the shop,\u201d said Louise Edge, senior oceans campaigner at Greenpeace UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0UK government has already said it agrees that a ban on microbeads<\/a>\u00a0is the right way forward,\u201d she said. \u201cThe new environment secretary, Andrea Leadsom, has some big challenges ahead of her, but banning microbeads would be a simple and effective start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mary Creagh, the chair of the cross-party environmental audit committee of MPs, which will publish its inquiry into the issue in the summer, said: \u201cCosmetics companies\u2019 voluntary approach to phasing out plastic microbeads is inconsistent and confusing for consumers. Most customers would be horrified to discover the effect their facial scrubs are having on the marine environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Steadman, from Fauna & Flora International, which produces\u00a0The Good Scrub Guide<\/a>, said: \u201cWhen you get down into the details of these brands\u2019 microbead commitments, the potential for confusion is enormous. Marine life can be harmed by any type of plastic reaching our oceans, so if it\u2019s a solid, a plastic and in a product that goes down the drain, it shouldn\u2019t be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christopher Flower, the director-general of the UK\u2019s\u00a0Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association<\/a>, said: \u201cThe cosmetics industry is taking this issue extremely seriously and is very much aware of its responsibilities to its customers and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the European personal care association, Cosmetics Europe, has issued arecommendation<\/a>\u00a0to end the use of \u201csynthetic, solid plastic particles used for exfoliating and cleansing that are non-biodegradable in the marine environment\u201d by 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that this course of action will have an impact far more quickly than waiting for any legislative ban,\u201d said Flower He added that most microbeads are likely to have been phased out long before 2020.<\/p>\n

Microbeads are too small to be filtered effectively by sewage treatment plants and flow into the oceans. Plastic pollution in the oceans is a huge problem:\u00a05tn pieces of plastic<\/a>\u00a0are floating in the world\u2019s seas. Microbeads are a small but significant part of this, which campaigners argue are the easiest to deal with.<\/p>\n

Microbeads are eaten by marine life, which mistake them for food particles, and have been shown to\u00a0kill fish before they reach reproductive age<\/a>. The tiny beads can also attract toxins from seawater, which are then\u00a0passed up the food chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The beads are thought to be eaten by people consuming seafood and\u00a0possibly breathed in too<\/a>. Safe alternatives are already available, including ground nutshells, pumice, sugar and salt.<\/p>\n
